目的：在学校环境中进行了大量的儿童肥胖预防研究。然而，很少有人调查负责提供这种方案的学校工作人员的经验。本研究旨在了解教师对6- 7岁儿童实施儿童肥胖预防计划的经验。设计：描述性-解释性定性研究。设置：参加英国西米德兰兹郡活动生活方式和健康饮食的小学儿童（WAVES）研究。方法：共从12所小学招募14名教师。结果：小学教师普遍认同肥胖预防的重要性。他们对干预措施的各个方面，特别是其灵活性和现成的材料作了积极的报告。时间限制和获得家长的支持被视为干预delivery.Conclusions的关键挑战：在学校提供肥胖预防计划是可行的，但具有挑战性的教师。我们的研究结果表明，为了最大限度地提高交付的可能性，干预措施应该是动手，易于管理和灵活的个别学校的需要。学校宣传健康的生活方式行为的重要性显而易见，但教师感到可用于实现和鼓励这一目标的资源有限。国家和地方一级对儿童健康生活方式的指导和支持将有助于学校给予这一需要的优先考虑。
Objective: There has been a wealth of childhood obesity prevention studies in school-based settings. However, few have investigated the experiences of school staff charged with delivery of such programmes. This study aimed to elicit teachers' experiences of delivering a childhood obesity prevention programme for children aged 6-7years.Design: Descriptive-interpretive qualitative study.Setting: Primary schools participating in the UK West Midlands ActiVe lifestyle and healthy Eating in School children (WAVES) study.Method: In all, 14 teachers were recruited from 12 primary schools. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and data analysis was guided by the Framework Approach.Results: Teachers recognised the importance of obesity prevention in primary schools. They reported positively on aspects of the intervention, in particular its flexibility and the ready-prepared materials. Time constraints and gaining support of parents were seen as key challenges to intervention delivery.Conclusions: Delivering an obesity prevention programme in school is feasible but challenging for teachers. Our findings suggest that to maximise the likelihood of delivery, interventions should be hands-on, easy to manage and flexible to the needs of individual schools. The perceived importance of the promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviours by schools was evident, but teachers felt restricted in the resources that could be devoted to achieve and encourage this. National combined with local level direction and support for healthy lifestyles in children would help schools to give this the priority it requires.
